Stopper® II
STI-1100

I now require this protection for all bar/nightclub or similar assembly occupancies and have virtually eliminated malicious false alarms at these locations. I strongly recommend these products in most new construction where a potential problem exists, such as daycares, schools, children's medical facilities (pediatric clinics and dentist offices), or where accidental activation may occur due to increased activity or work at or near the pull stations. Great products that simply make great sense!

I have suggested the use of STI Smoke Detector Protectors in our area. They aid in deterring vandals from breaking them. I would like to thank you, STI, for the things you are doing to keep us and the community safe.

Airport terminals are a prime target for false fire alarms with little kids running around looking for something to do. But since we recommended the installation of STI Stopper II covers over our manual pull stations, false fire alarms have ceased to be a problem.

You really can't blame the kids. At our local elementary school the light switch on the wall was so close to the manual pull station that the students would activate the alarm by mistake. Previously, I had recommended a number of STI Stopper II units to solve a false fire alarm problem in another part of town and they cut the number of false fire alarms there from six a year to zero. So I suggested installing a Stopper II for the problem at the school and it worked great.

In my previous post in a much larger urban community I frequently recommended the use of STI Stopper II devices over manual pull stations to stop false fire alarms in high schools and a lot of other public buildings. They were very effective. During the next few months I'm going to evaluate whether they are also needed here.

A large nursing home in our area was having quite a problem in two of their buildings with elderly handicapped residents activating manual pull stations. I recommended installing STI Stopper II covers. Then, when the residents tried it again, staff members were able to stop residents from pulling the real alarm—preventing another false fire alarm. What would I say about the STI Stopper IIs? THEY WORK!

I have recommended the installation of STI Stopper II covers over manual pull stations to prevent false fire alarms in remote areas of schools in our area as well as in restaurants. An even bigger problem has been in school gyms where we recommended installing them to protect devices from flying basketballs. The STI Stopper IIs have proved to be very effective!

We call STI Stopper II devices with a pre-alarm SCREAMERS. And we instructed the local school system to install them in all problem areas such as basketball gyms or elsewhere where there were false fire alarms caused by malicious activation of manual pull stations. We haven't had any false alarms there since.

It happened a couple of years ago. This local restaurant was having a problem with false fire alarms from a manual pull station located next to the front door of the waiting room. Kids being held by their mothers couldn't resist pulling that alarm. We recommended they install an STI Stopper II and that was it. No more false fire alarms.

When I was a fire chief for the Department of Defense up here in Alaska, I required the use of STI Stopper II covers over our manual pull stations to prevent false fire alarms and vandalism. Most of it was the work of young pranksters in the barracks and other similar military facilities. I'm retired now as a DoD fire chief but I know what Stopper IIs can do. These days I'm still serving as a fire chief in the land of the midnight sun and the best fishing in the world.

STI Stopper II covers worked out well for us in two areas. First, in high school gyms to protect manual pull stations from being hit by basketballs. Second, in pre-school facilities where there were problems with false fire alarms. Kids being carried by their mothers would activate the manual pull stations as they walked down the halls.

People didn't know that the manual pull station outside the entrance to the emergency room at a local hospital was not the automatic door opener. So they would pull it and we'd have a false fire alarm. I recommended they install an STI Stopper II cover over the manual pull station. They did and we've had no trouble with it since.

There was a problem with unauthorized people going in and out of back doors at a church day care facility in our area. I recommended they install the STI Exit Stopper. That must have solved it because I haven't heard anything since.

I recommended the use of the STI Stopper II in both an elementary school and in a local community center. In both cases it was kids activating manual pull stations as a prank. Stopper II solved the problem in both places.

Stopper II is great because it does two things. First it protects the manual pull station from accidental damage and so forth. Second, the pre-alarm prevents kids and anybody else from pulling false fire alarms and getting away with it.

The STI Stopper II is a good deterrent to false fire alarms and I suggest it often. In fact, I'm meeting this week with the owners of a very large nursing home now under construction to talk about installing them throughout the structure. I know they have used them in their other nursing homes outside my area. And I'm going to talk to our local schools about installing STI Stopper II covers over their manual pull stations. Thanks for this product, STI. It works!

When we receive a pull station false alarm we have our Fire Inspectors follow up and write orders to install the protective cover with sounder. Most of our schools, daycare centers, and assembly occupants have installed the STI Stopper II just about anywhere there are kids in the area. We have extremely lowered pull station false fire alarms, the only ones we seem to have now are the ones without the covers. These protective covers sure seem to help in our community.

We were having problems with false fire alarms coming from manual pull stations in our high school and a local church where they play sports. At first, we thought it was caused by balls hitting the pull stations. But then we noticed the false fire alarms seemed to be timed to when classes were letting out. Conclusion: Those false fire alarms weren't all accidental. We recommended installing about seven STI Stopper II units and that took care of both problems. The STI Stopper IIs work great!

You know how it is with some college kids, false fire alarms are not that unusual. We were experiencing a lot of that at our local college. Then we recommended installing STI Stopper II covers over some of the problem manual pull stations. That has made a big difference! Malicious false fire alarms have gone way down thanks to the STI Stopper Iis.

This is a ski resort area and false fire alarms used to be a problem because kids in the parents' arms would pull alarms in passing or skis would hit manual pull stations accidentally and we'd have this same thing happen. The simple solution was having STI Stopper II covers installed. They have been 100% effective!

Jay Nelson

Yes, there was a problem with malicious activation of manual pull stations in our jurisdiction until they installed an STI Stopper II cover. That took care of it. Stopper II is a great product!

We had a big problem with false fire alarms about five years ago but not anymore—since all our manual pull stations in the entire airport complex have been fitted with STI Stopper IIs. In fact, because we're constantly expanding the airport, the terminal operator carries them in stock for us. We don't want manual pull stations ever installed without a Stopper II protecting it.

I've suggested the use of STI products lots of times—especially STI Stopper II covers for manual pull stations to prevent false fire alarms and STI devices to stop theft or vandalism of both cabinet mounted and free standing fire extinguishers. In fact, I'm approving Stopper IIs right now for our baseball field at our university stadium facility and for some of our fraternity houses. They do the job in stopping false fire alarms.

There was a problem with false fire alarms in a building housing pre-schoolers and kids in the lower elementary grades. They would pull the alarms on manual pull stations—not really knowing what they were doing. I recommended the use of STI Stopper II devices. School officials followed my advice and there hasn't been one false fire alarm there since.

Repeated fines and corrective action resulting from false fire alarms in remote locations at our local high school were causing increasing concern for school officials. I recommend they install STI Stopper II units over their manual pull stations and they agreed. The Stopper IIs have been very successful in solving the problem because false fire alarms have been greatly reduced.

It might sound strange, but we have had a number of cases where confused people mistake manual pull stations located near front entrances as door opening devices or—in some instances—as ‘door bells.' It's not malicious but it does result in a false fire alarm nevertheless. We recommended installing STI Stopper II devices over those manual pull stations and those kinds of problems ceased immediately. Also, we have suggested their use in a number of municipally owned buildings where there were false fire alarms and the results have been equally successful.

We recommend—almost command—the installation of STI Stopper II devices wherever there are manual pull stations and the potential is there for false fire alarms. They have done more than cut down on them in almost all cases—false fire alarms have gone down to zero Stopper II is a great product!

Hospitals have been our biggest problem area in the past with schools second. But not now with the Stopper II. An awful lot of manual pull stations are located next to stairs and entrances where it's so easy to pull the alarm in a crowd and the culprit is out the door before anybody knows who did it. A Stopper II cover over the manual pull station gives them pause and it just doesn't happen any more.

Before I became fire chief, I was a fire inspector for 20 years.

Kids had been regularly pulling malicious false fire alarms in our area before we started recommending the use of STI Stopper II covers for manual pull stations. Upon our recommendation, they have now been installed in local schools, long-term health care facilities and high-rise residential complexes. I also suggest them to electrical contractors, property managers and general contractors. In one area we were having a lot of false fire alarms, but in the last three years since the Stopper II units were installed we haven't had any!

Widebody Keypad Protector, Stopper® II, Thermostat Protector
STI-1100, STI-6550, STI-9100

As I travel around on inspections, I recommend the use of STI protectors wherever there are kids around. We recently had a $2,500,000 renovation of an municipal administration building and I had them install an STI Widebody Keypad Protector because the kids thought it was some kind of miniature computer. Also, because there's a library close by I had them install STI Stopper II units to stop malicious activation of manual pull stations. And I had them install an STI Thermostat Protector to prevent tampering with the thermostat by adults as well as kids. As a matter of fact, I carry information on STI protectors with me to tell people how they can solve different problems they might have.

Fire Extinguisher Theft Stopper®

We have been very satisfied with STI's products in particular the Extinguisher Theft Stopper, which has reduced the loss of equipment to a satisfying zero on our site at The Luton and Dunstable Hospital. By nature the equipment is sited adjacent to doorways and regrettably some of our visitors felt that it was free and available to them to take the extinguishers away. Having fitted the Extinguisher Theft Stoppers we no longer have equipment being stolen over holidays, weekends and nights. Anybody wanting to protect extinguishers will certainly find value for money by using the Extinguisher Stopper.

Needless running of the rigs because of malicious false fire alarms can be costly and dangerous. So we suggest the use of STI Stopper II units to protect manual pull stations where there are problems, such as in daycare centers and schools. The Stopper II devices work real well.

As a tourist resort area, we have kids who mess with fire extinguishers during spring break and graduation months. Fortunately, STI Fire Extinguisher Theft Stoppers are controlling it.

I recommend the STI Stopper II device wherever there's a false fire alarm problem in our area as well as for new construction. That includes schools, hospitals and especially apartment buildings or anywhere else where there are kids around. Keep up the good work, STI.

At one high school in the district a false fire alarm was a daily occurrence. Since they have installed Stopper II units, it has now reduced pull station false alarms to zero.

At the present time we have about 100 Stopper II units in service and they have reduced the amount of false alarm activation. In the past we have also used Weather Stopper II units to extend the life of pull stations in our pool areas.
